Abstract

The invention relates to modified supported catalysts based on Re2O7/γ-Al2O3 for use in the preparation of cycloalkadienes in a metathesis reaction, a process for preparing cycloalkadienes in the presence of these supported catalysts and the use of the resulting cycloalkadienes for the preparation of fragrances.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to modified supported catalysts based on Re[0001] 2O7/γ-Al2O3 for use in the preparation of cycloalkadienes in a metathesis reaction. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing cycloalkadienes in the presence of these supported catalysts and to the use of the cycloalkadienes produced.
  • Cycloalkenes, preferably cycloalkadienes having a ring size of from 12 to 18 carbon atoms, are used, inter alia, to prepare oxygen-containing, macrocyclic compounds. The compounds can be used in the preparation of macrocyclic ketones, lactones and epoxides which are prized as musk fragrances in the perfume industry. [0002]
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • EP-A 182 333 discloses that the catalyst system Re[0003] 2O7/γ-Al2O3/SnR4, where R is an alkyl radical, can be used in a metathesis reaction of highly dilute cycloolefin solutions in the liquid phase to give the corresponding cycloalkadienes.
  • The preparation of cycloalkadienes by a metathesis reaction of cyclooctenylenes having a degree of polymerization of greater than or equal to three and/or cycloalkamonoenes in the liquid phase in the presence of a supported catalyst based on Re[0004] 2O7/γ-Al2O3 is described in EP-A 343 437.
  • Many modifications to supported catalysts based on Re[0005] 2O7/γ-Al2O3, like the additions of dopants have been studied and described in the literature with the aim of improving these catalysts in respect of activity or operating life. The selectivity in respect of the cycloalkadienes to be formed and the total selectivity based on all desired metathesis products, i.e. the sum of desired cycloalkadienes and oligomeric and polymeric metathesis products, is likewise important. Metathesis products, which correspond to downstream products or by-products and are formed from the starting materials not according to plan, for example ring sizes, which are smaller or larger by one, two or three carbon atoms, are not desired.
  • GB-1216587 discloses that impregnation of aluminum oxide with anions, for example with phosphate ions, can increase the activity of the Re[0006] 2O7/γ-Al2O3 metathesis catalyst.
  • Metathesis catalysts modified with cesium are known from Journal of Catalysis 1984, 89, 452, and Journal of Molecular Catalysis 1988, 46, 157. [0007]
  • The influence of the treatment of Re[0008] 2O7/γ-Al2O3 metathesis catalysts with acids is discussed in J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans. 1, 1986, 82, 2707.
  • Due to the necessarily high dilution of the cycloolefin solutions used in the metathesis reaction, the amount of cycloalkadienes, which is obtainable per unit time, has been unsatisfactory from economic, engineering and industrial points of view. [0009]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide supported catalysts and processes by means of which a relatively large amount of cycloalkadienes can be obtained per unit time. It is also an object of the present invention to achieve a higher productivity and a higher space-time yield in the metathesis process. [0010]
  • It has now been found that modification with phosphorus, cesium, mineral acids or combinations of these modifications can result in a significant increase in the activity and productivity of a supported Re[0011] 2O7/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. This is particularly noticeable at relatively high space velocities, so that the amount of cycloalkadienes obtainable per unit time can be significantly increased. It is particularly advantageous that an excellent total selectivity based on all metathesis products can be achieved using the modified supported catalysts. Furthermore, it has been found that the supported catalysts of the present invention have a longer operating life, as a result of which more metathesis products and cycloalkadienes can be produced within a supported catalyst cycle. In addition, the supported catalysts have a longer total life.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention provides supported catalysts for use in the preparation of cycloalkadienes in a metathesis reaction, comprising a) γ-Al[0013] 2O3 as a support material, b) from 1 to 12% by weight of Re2O7, c) from 0 to 40% by weight of SnR4 or SnO2 or a mixture of these tin compounds, where R is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and also at least one dopant selected from d) phosphorus, e) cesium and f) a mineral acid, where the % by weight are in each case based on the total weight of the catalyst.
  • The present invention further provides a process for preparing cycloalkadienes from cycloalkamonoenes, cyclopolyenes, acyclic polyenes or mixtures thereof by a metathesis reaction in the liquid phase in the presence of the above mentioned supported catalysts, and provides for the use of the cycloalkadienes, which are obtainable according to the present invention, for the preparation of fragrances, preferably for the preparation of macrocyclic fragrances. [0014]
  • For the purposes of the present invention, the metathesis solution is the starting solution, i.e. a solvent containing at least one hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of cycloalkamonoenes, cyclopolyenes and acyclic polyenes. [0015]

The rhenium is usually applied by impregnation of the support material with an aqueous solution of one or more rhenium compounds and subsequent thermal treatment of the material, resulting in formation of Re2O7.

Thermal treatment of the supported catalyst in the regeneration is carried out in a temperature range from 200 to 600° C., with the maximum usable temperature being about 600° C. The thermal treatment is carried out in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, for example air which can, if desired, be additionally admixed with inert gases such as nitrogen or argon. [0046]
    • EXAMPLES
  • The following examples illustrate the present invention: [0047]
    • Example 1 Preparation of Cat. 2
  • 250 g of γ-aluminum oxide in the form of swirl strands (procured from KataLeuna) are impregnated with a solution comprising 25 g of diammonium hydrogen phosphate and 1 l of distilled water at 80° C. for 6 hours, filtered, washed with 1 l of distilled water, dried and calcined at 580° C. for 18 hours. This material is subsequently impregnated with 130 ml of an aqueous solution of 17 g of ammonium perrhenate and dried. After treatment at 500-580° C. in a stream of air for two hours, the catalyst was kept at the same temperature in a stream of nitrogen for a further 2 hours and subsequently cooled to room temperature. This gave 267.9 g of a supported catalyst (Cat. 2) containing 3.6% by weight of Re[0048] 2O7 and 1.1% by weight of phosphorus.
    • Example 2 Preparation of Cat. 3
  • 241 g of γ-aluminum oxide in the form of swirl strands (procured from KataLeuna) were impregnated with 125 ml of a solution of 9 g of rhenium oxide in water and subsequently dried. After treatment at 500-580° C. in a stream of air for two hours, the catalyst was kept at the same temperature in a stream of nitrogen for a further 2 hours and subsequently cooled to room temperature. After impregnation with 125 ml of an aqueous solution of 1.83 g of cesium nitrate, the catalyst was dried at 120° C. for two hours, followed by treatment at 500° C. in a stream of air for two hours and cooling in a stream of nitrogen. This gave 244.4 g of supported catalyst containing 3.7% by weight of Re[0049] 2O7 and 0.5% by weight of cesium.
    • Example 3 Preparation of Cat. 4
  • 235 g of γ-aluminum oxide in the form of swirl strands (procured from KataLeuna) were impregnated with 244 ml of an aqueous solution of 16.6 g of ammonium perrhenate. Impregnation was carried out in two steps using 122 ml of aqueous ammonium perrhenate solution each time with subsequent drying in each case. After a second impregnation with 122 ml of an aqueous solution of 2.26 g of hydrogen chloride, the catalyst was dried, treated at 500-580° C. in a stream of air for two hours and treated at the same temperature in a stream of nitrogen for a further 2 hours. After cooling under nitrogen, 243.3 g of catalyst (Cat. 4) containing 3.6% by weight of Re[0050] 2O7 were obtained.
    • Example 4 Commercially Available Cat. 1
  • Cat. 1 is a commercially available catalyst and was procured from KataLeuna (Re content: 3.6% by weight of Re[0051] 2O7 on γ-aluminum oxide).
  • The length of the swirl strands (SS) was typically in the range from 10 to 19 mm. [0052]
  • 50 g of one of the supported catalysts described in Examples 1 to 3 (Cat. 2 to Cat. 4) or the commercially available catalyst Cat. 1 were in each case placed in a vertical tube reactor (height: 50 cm, diameter: 1.5 cm) under a protective gas atmosphere (argon). A solution containing 2.5% by weight of tetramethyltin (based on the weight of the supported catalyst) in n-hexane was circulated by means of a pump through the fixed bed of supported catalyst from the bottom upward at 25° C. for 3 hours. A solution containing 2.4 g of cyclooctene and 0.3% by weight of tetramethyltin (based on the weight of supported catalyst) per liter of n-hexane was then passed continuously through the bed of supported catalyst from the bottom upward at 45° C. and atmospheric pressure. [0053]
  • The amount of metathesis solution passed over the bed of supported catalyst per unit time, i.e. the space velocity, was varied by means of the pump output. [0054]
  • The selectivity to 1,9-cyclohexadecadiene over the entire reaction was 36-38%. The selectivity to 1,9-cyclohexadecadiene and cyclopolyoctenylenes was about 99%. [0055]
  • As illustrated in graphical form in the Figure the cyclooctene-based conversion (in per cent, x-axis) as a function of the space velocity (in ml/gh, y-axis) in a metathesis reaction using the supported catalyst Cat. 2 to 4 in comparison with a commercially available swirl-strand supported catalyst Cat. 1. The supported catalysts of the invention Cat. 2 to 4 display a significantly higher activity, as a result of which a higher space-time yield and a higher productivity for cycloalkadienes can be achieved. [0056]
  • Although the invention has been described in detail in the foregoing for the purpose of illustration, it is to be understood that such detail is solely for that purpose and that variations can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention except as it may be limited by the claims.
